Waste disposal grants - regular

The City of Grafton received a $1 million Project Grant award from the US Department of Agriculture Rural Utilities Service on March 29, 2022 to support water and waste disposal systems. The grant funding will support products and services aligned with the Water and Waste Disposal Systems for Rural Communities program (CFDA #10.760), which provides loans and grants for water and waste projects serving financially needy rural communities. Specifically, the grant will aid the City of Grafton Water Department in delivering water and waste disposal services to rural residents, businesses, and other rural users in a financially sustainable manner through reasonable user costs. The March 2022 award completion date suggests the funding will allow the sub-awardee to complete planned water and waste projects over the coming year to improve related systems and access in its rural service areas.
